Workship: How To Use Your Work To Worship God

The Hebrew root word for 'work' is also the root word for 'service', particularly service to God in worship. By combining the two English words, 'work' and 'worship', I hope to challenge people to integrate their faith and work. Work does not just refer to what is done in paid employment. I believe God sees work as any purposeful activity requiring focus and effort. It could be housework, schoolwork, caring for children or parents, study, paid work, voluntary work, etc. - Kara Martin

In her book, Kara explores the biblical view of work, provides six spiritual disciplines to integrate faith and work, shares practical wisdom on how to make a difference in the workplace, and offers ideas to help churches better equip their congregations to live out their faith at work.
